What the Bible says about Jesus
The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24,25.

Teaching through Omission
Teaching through Omission
Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon
It
is interesting that “sanctification” is absent in the doctines in
Romans 8:28-29. where we can find predestination, calling, justification
and glorification in that order.
If anything, it should appear between justification and glorification. That is if we understand it as a life long progressive sanctification which is what is mostly preached and taught in churches.
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you knows how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God.1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
But it appears
in other scriptures, this time after "being washed"
in 1 Corinthians
6:9-11. Here Paul is talking about positional sanctification.
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”
…But because of his great love for us , God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.… Ephesians 2:4,5.
This is why it is of the utmost importance to read the whole counsel of God from cover to cover, from Genesis to Revelation.
Are there other examples where one side of the coin is hidden from the other side. Can we see the dark side of the moon?
But the Lord helps us understand the completeness of His word if we seek wisdom and the illumination of the Holy Spirit to help us in our search for the truth. Is the word rapture written in the Bible. Does it prove that such a doctrine doesn´t exist?
Let´s talk about appearance and how tricky it is.
“Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:22
What about the other side of the coin?
If there is true righteousness, the righteousness of Christ that is imputed to us, is there a false righeousness or the appearance of good as demonstrated in the hypocrisy of the Pharisees?

These 2 concepts are not included in the same sentence because of the specific context.
The few examples cited above illustrate a certain type of attitudes that tends to exclude and judge others whose understanding are different from theirs.
I like the saying:it is better to dig a well 100 feet deep than dig 100 wells 1 foot deep.
It reminds me of Jesus teaching the parable of the wise and the foolish men.
The
House on the Rock
…47I will show you what he is like who
comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them: 48He
is like a
man building a
house, who dug
down deep and
laid his
foundation on
the rock.
When the
flood came, the
torrent crashed
against that
house but
could not
shake it,
because it
was well built.
49But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a
man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent
crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was
its destruction!”…

A Cortina Inevitável - Jean-Louis Mondon
A Cortina Inevitável
Metamorfose
Composto e publicado Março 2023 por
Jean-Louis Mondon
Original em Francês composto Agosto 2010
O sonhos da juventude brotam
E transformam-se em casulos de laços sedosos
Tecidos pacientemente ao longo de laços sem fim
Asas de borboletas sobrecarregadas
De lágrimas do céu almejam
Encontrar seu sossego eterno
Entre flores murchas
Colhidas no caminho
Memórias escondidas
Em nossas caixas de música
Soltam seu controle fugaz
Para despertar mais uma vez
As queridas vozes do passado
E os passos da dança
Abrandam e desapareçam
Discretamente atrás da cortina
Quando a caixa fica fechada
As notas da melodia soam de novo
Na prateleira de nossos pensamentos.
